Simple as that, no color or ability information necessary.
MmmMMmm I don't know...It might help us pin point AS, but scum can lie and say they are AS when they aren't ruining this idea.

I think I'm more for a full total mass claim, than this vague one.

Let's take you through an exercise to see which region of your brain isn't functioning properly. If you end up swearing at me a lot after this, it's probably your thalamus.

* MacavityLock and MBL, scumpartners, get in trouble. The town "knows" that one is lying because of detects.
* MacavityLock gets run up by town. He claims. They're ready to crucify him anyway.
* MBL says "no, folks, I don't know why MacavityLock claimed to target poor innocent me last night."
* MacavityLock is lynched as murderous scum who just tried to gank MBL and got caught.
* MBL eats cake for the rest of the game.
This is a terrible, terrible argument full of bad thinking and it makes me want to lynch MBL. Now that I think of it, Isacc was Power-immune also, wasn't he? COuld MBL be the mysterious second dismemberer?
In general making a Warder is exactly what I would expect a Green's ability to be.
Which makes it a perfect safeclaim, neh? Especially without any details for what does it do?
My claim was the most complete/best for its time.
This is not the point in your favor you think it is. It is not notably a point
against
[i/]
in and of itself, but it is kind of
non sequitur
.

Benmage, without going into the quality of MBL's posts (mainly because I haven't the time right now; some of them are bad for his case) the thrust of his argument is that you have suspected everyone and everone lately. If your suspicions are on everyone, they are on no one.

The AS claim idea strikes me as useless and bad. Aes Sedai will be forced to tell the truth, but (non-Black Ajah) scum won't, and they can bolster each other. All this does is weed out who can be non-Aes Sedai, and not all of them. The fact that KOC endorses this product or service is another good reason to stay away, IMO.
I think it's pretty clear that TSS's awesomeness did alter the roles each of us recieved, and thus he's obviously pro-town. -- Save The Dragons

I'm flexible. Town loses a little utility from me claiming but not a ton, and might gain information.

I assume there are about 4 scum remaining, and perhaps a few protown power roles. If seven say no to the claim, I say we nix it, because that means that a few protown power roles see it as detrimental.

tss, I don't mean the argument 100% literally. I'm trying to drive home the point that if I were scumpartners with Macavity, bailing him out right there was about the worst play I could have made.

I'm just a little tired of fending off retarded argument after retarded argument because Benmage (and a few others) are too lazy to read the thread properly and think. Somebody's night action on me failed, so I'm scum? Great. I'm Black Ajah who straight-up lied in a thread for no reason whatsoever? Stupid and annoying to have to deal with this crap over and over again.

Clearly, as a result of the oddness my role caused night results, I'm going to have to fend off all sorts of accusations over the next few days. I'm pretty sure I'm playing my role properly though--drawing heat away from the pro-town Aes Sedai. Eating a nightkill would be a win.

All that being said, I do find it odd that MacavityLock claimed to try and still me all by himself. I suggest this for a few reasons:

1) If his partner is ABR, why didn't they ask anyone else to help still me? I read in thread it takes more than one.. so why would Mac piss his night action away if there was like 0% chance of it working? Why wouldn't Albert invoke the usual "My partner has a request" and actually get the job done ???
2) Why still MBL when it's obvious from the thread that I'm not Aes Sedai?

Is it possible that Macavity tried to fry me last night and failed? Does that make more sense than him trying to still me?

Macavity, last chance to admit you did anything besides stilling, because I don't particularly buy that that's what you tried to do to me.

You can rest assured that I won't be doing a thing simply because you suggested it. You outed or tried to out about 8 players singlehandedly. If there was a scummy for terrible play, you'd win it, UNLESS you're scum.

Let bygones be bygones enough tit-for-tat mocking posts…this post is pretty good. You’re looking at different arguments.

I doubt you’re going to get a reverse admitting out of ML, it would mean instant-death.

“Eating a nightkill would be a win” Caught my eye…why have you been so abstinent in the past, if you dying alone benefits us?

TSS statement about the 3rd dismemberment, something about OP immunity seems farfetched, but it did get me thinking about peculiar roles/abilities. You saying he failed to fry you last night means what… you have the foxhead medallion?

I totally agree, his stilling attempt made 0 sense and seemed like a horrible move, I’m sure I mentioned this before :P .

Nope, I attempted to Still you. Before twi 4, I made ABR aware of the fact that I would be attempting to Still an in-thread liar, but I did not tell him which one. I did not expect, nor did I want, him to Still anybody along with me. My desired purpose was detection results only, and I did not expect to succeed in Stilling you, as I don't think you're AS.

By the way, for the idiots who think that my choice of action last night was a bad one, let me give you two examples of abilities I may or may not have, but that a good player wouldn't have used last night.
1) Twilight Action - Once per game, you may choose another player to act as
Executioner
the next day. That means that your chosen player will have sole control over the lynch. That player's first vote will end the day with the voted players lynch.
2) Rapid Action - You become a
Potato
. You are now the lynch target for at least one male channeler.

If I have either of these abilities, I paraphrased them. Not using them last night was the right thing to do. I can think of a whole host of other abilities that would be correct
not
to use. So, I hope my use of Stilling as detection makes sense.

Since I have no way of knowing what abilities you people have, I assumed you used something practical every night. If stilling is a superior option to other choices, then obviously I retract my comments about your action being scummy.

See above. If you other options were actually that bad, sure.

MoS, a full AS claim is probably valid at this point, given that

A) If Mac is telling the truth, the average AS power probably isn't to the point its worth specifically targeting them.

B) Actual infinite info to sort with the detect abilities.

One last thing

What did SpyreX do to confirm himself as actually having been a channeler in the first place? If there is a claim, I want those who stilled (or w/e) him to come forward with some notification of success, as I'm starting to wonder if its possible for a scum to have just run the gambit claim D1.

All I know for a fact is my ability. My guess, given what I know about WoT, would be that my ability is on the low end of power of what Kinetic probably gave out. I would expect Red, Green, and Yellow abilities to be more powerful than mine. I think that Blue, Gray, and Brown could either more or less useful than mine, not sure.

As I stated before, I used my Gentling ability on SpyreX Twi 1. Assuming that he had the same abilities I did, I would expect that Kison-White Ajah probably did the same. I did not receive any sort of message about the efficacy of the Gentle.

May I ask which hypothesis you endorse? Surely you didn't go through all that work simply to indulge in WIFOM at the end of it?

This is certainly how I felt in the last game, when I was Aes Sedai.

However, the impression I have of Aes Sedai in this game is that Kinetic is judging whether or not there was an intent to deceive, which I am a tad frustrated by, and I am wondering how he judges this.

Why does it matter? He could have easily lied about it. As for Moratorium, he has indeed slept at the location he claimed.

Two things:

- He probably didn't lie about it, as he didn't want to give himself away to abilities that could find locations.
- Based on who slept in the same location as you and the number of detections you had, you can probably figure out if there's a missing detection or not, within reasonable accuracy.

Hence my continued doubt. With a mass claim we could at least discover if he was gentled or not. (I think ML is the only one to claim to attempted gentling SpryeX d1)

The only redeeming aspect here is SpryeX agrees to not live to see this game end, and I for one am still for this.

@ML did you get any response from Kinetic saying you successfully gentled SpryeX? Or one saying you failed to still MBL??

To much vagueness for my liking.
